Summer Olympic Roster Discussion

I'm sure the one is Las Vegas is bigger.

 

It's a little over half the height of the original.

 

Any updates on Busio?

 

They didn’t know that he was panoramic.

 

The French obsession with sex is indeed panoramic.

They got the 3 least important players on the squad.

 

Also, the youngest. Maybe it's on purpose to highlight to casual viewers that this is a youth event?

 

Role players, and been interviewed is part of the roles. As they introduced themselves one is playing with Messi, and two others are playing with Chelsea. The next question "What will you tell each other before stepping on the field tomorrow?"

 

Its a song lyric about the misunderstood Alec Eiffel.

 

Shouldn't you be like waah Debaser is "a full-blown anti-Christian hate-bigot parade"

 

Saving the others for when we get to the Gold
Medal game.

 

Arguably also the three best prospects (or very close to it).

Should they interview Mihailovic and Dietz instead?

Question: What do you think of your senior team future?

Answer: Uh, we have none.

 

On both sides of the argument, it's the Today show. It's more like "How excited are you to be here?"

I think the kids are great in this respect. Much more fun.

 

It's Today, it doesn't matter who we send it's not like they're going to ask any interesting questions... makes sense to send three non-starters who can talk about how happy they are to be there

Futbol Americas interviewed Walker Zimmerman, which made sense because they could for example ask him about the Canadian team scandal as he's played against them


And here's Tessmann which also makes sense as he's a "football guy"

 

Those Millennials are good at strategizing

"This is the most millennial thing I've ever seen."

I feel that somehow these kids are better than our experts, at least they have no ties and give their honest opinions

 

I think you may be confused.

 

I have been pushing these kids for a few months now... not saying they always get it right but still refreshing to have some new voices out there.

Well you mentioned the song Alec Eiffel... the Pixies song Debaser is very obviously (as it's literally the chorus) about Un Chien Andalou one of the seminal works of surrealist cinema created by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali... The leader of the surrealists Andre Breton created a magazine Counterattack where intellectuals could publish anti-fascist (or "antifa") essays... Bunuel's views are pretty clear based on his filmography... Dali literally called surrealism "anti-Christian" (although it should be noted that a decade later he would be expelled from the surrealists for supporting fascist dictator Franco)... the duo's sequel the very next year sparked violent reactions, with a right wing Spanish paper calling it "the most repulsive corruption of our age" ... high praise... pretty sure they would have loved the opening ceremony you called "a full-blown anti-Christian hate-bigot parade" and would probably have considered it to be the only one ever that was even slightly interesting...

So I posted a screenshot of the scene from Un Chien Andalou with the two priests... what's the NOT anti-Christian interpretation here?

As for what the Pixies make of it, as they say in the song, "wanna grow up to be, be a Debaser"

There's a pretty clear through line between the moral panic in 1929 and 2024... not coincidentally both periods with fascism on the rise globally

But back on topic... sports... I loooove the Dallas Cowboys

 

Nope, that wasn't me.

 

I spent time today in Paris speaking with U.S. #OlyMNT winger Griffin Yow about the remarkable steps he's taken in his career over the the past year, his tournament, staying ground, and what an Olympic run means for the program.

And for @SoccerAmerica, I spoke with #OlyMNT winger Kevin Paredes on his big effort against Guinea, the Olympics, the team, and a very tough Morocco team that awaits on Friday. https://t.co/czDVu4af2u

bshredder getting the best interviews with the best questions. How come you didn't ask what kind of tree they wanted to be?

 

I’ll wait to see if the moderators allow the anti-religious and now obviously far left political advocacy stuff to continue before I chime in.

 

Same problem with this team as our whole program has. We do not score against any decent team.
